help me wire my cooker i'm starving

i have purchased an indesit 4 ceramic hob cooker,it says it requires a min H05RR-F SECTION 3X4MM2,I went along to b&q they sold me a twin&earth grey 10mm2 2metrs cable,but i was then toldit would go on fire,is this cable safe.

its just a normal standalone cooker,with 4 hobs and an oven,the cooker will be right next to the box on the wall,it will only need about half a meter,i was going to cut half a meter off and wire the 10mm up between the cooker and box on the wall.any ideas

the manufactueres have advised a rubber flexible cord of 4mm conductors, yours is not very flexible but the cores are more than twice the size of the recomendations so are certainly not going to overheat. You need Green&Yellow sheathing for the earth wire which you will find is bare copper.

Lots of people use PVC T&E and I;m not aware of any reason why you shouldn't. Run it with wide curves not tight bends.

oh brilliant,i get what your saying now,thanks very much i will go back to b&q tomorrow and get some.what a life,this cooker has caused me so many problems.watch this space to find out the outcome tomorrow.lol
